Deep House/Bass Music
Posted on: 01.02.2012 by Kelley Mendrick
Just wanted to get a rough idea on what people's thoughts on deep house and bass music are? SBTRKT, Pearson Sound, Disclosure, Boddika, Blawan, Maya Jane Coles, Eats Everything, Julio Bashmore, Mosca, Catz n Dogz...

Are these all artists popular with DJTT community members? I just wandered what the general feel for music here was!

P.S if you are into this kind of music leave some feedback on my quick 15minute mix! Thanks

Peace, tukker.

Nice, following on the twitter and FB, definitely going to make sure my next trip up there coincides with it

IMO let's not get caught up in what it is and what it isn't, don't worry about giving it a name, just enjoy the great music that's coming out of the scene!

Got the 7" of this winging it's way to me soon, this and the flip are both huge tracks.

Music, I believe has progressed to the point where songs now take from so many of the 'original' genres, (house, garage, dub etc) that new genres need to be made very often to incorporate the different sounds...


Anyone else heard of the 108-110bpm 'electro-dubstep' genre of MOOMBAHTON?

It's not though. Far from anything super noisy. It's hard to give one example of this sound because most artists sound different than others. Some use 4x4 beats, some use 2-step beat patterns. Some put an acid twist on it, some put a UK Funky/Garage/Bassline twist on it, some go with a more dubstep approach to it.

Acid

UK Funky

Dubstep

Techno

Juke

It all sounds different to me but it all mixes well with each other and with the classics which they are influenced by, if done correctly.

Yeah! Didn't Miguel Campbell's 'Something Special' win DJMags tune of the year? Hot Natured is also a favourite of mine

Anyone in the UK seen the new Manchester Warehouse Project line-up for easter sunday? It is pretty sick! Just bought my tickets

Here are the links to those podcasts I was on about, definite UK Bass as I understand it just to clear up any confusion. I believe the term definitely acts as an umberella more than a specific genre hence the confusion:

http://www.xlr8r.com/podcast/2012/01/lv - for LV

http://www.xlr8r.com/podcast/2012/01/throwing-snow - for Throwing Snow, check his tune "Too Polite" on Local Action label, amazing!!

http://www.xlr8r.com/podcast/2011/10/damu - For Damu.

Also this to some extent is Bass but I would say there was a lot more there besides, amazing mix though anyway so needs a post!!

In my opinion this bass music is on a new tip. It is something different and refreshing. It does take from house, techno, r&b, uk garage, dubstep, juke, and probably other areas that I'm not even aware of.

But the "problem" is that it doesn't really have a name. I haven't heard anyone from the scene that is actually making these tunes or a head of a label repping the artists actually put a name to it. Some people online (community s and blogs) call it UK Bass Music, some call it post-dubstep, and some call it future garage. But it really doesn't have an official name right now.
I absolutely agree mate. My first love was always Uk Garage especially the 2-step stuff and this really reminds of that.

Love this thread!!

I must say it drives me mad. All the different perceptions of genre names.
I can hold my hands up, huge Deep House fan. Maceo Plex, Maya Jane Cole, Re.You, Visionquest.
Their some of my personal fav's!
I did a Deep House Mix just recently, seeing as the topic has several fans I'd love for you to have a listen.

Did anyone here attend the NYD Hot Natured party at Pulse? Thoroughly enjoyed that!

Whatever they call it, I don't care... just keep bringin' it!!!
Maya Jane Coles stuff just takes me back to a different time in House for me.

David Alvarado's Maya Songs L.P. reminds me of this sound for some reason.
Jimpster is quality as well as another Freerange Records artist Toni Lionni - his stuff is intriguing, just discovering him.

Even some of Tribal UK's label early stuff... used to love that label.

I agree there is two separate-ish genres here, though they are connected. The more bassy sound coming from the likes of Eats Everything is a more stripped down, bass driven sound that almost has some tribal genes. I believe some are even calling it UK Bass (unless this is another genre entirely which I've not delved into yet).

Viadrina - Luna (Coat of Arms remix) came across this last week and really enjoying it

Audiojack - Get Serious

Diamond Lights - Happiness (Light Year & Strip Steve's Deep Fried remix)

I've been just starting to try and explore this sound so thanks for the pointers in this thread.

Deep House is definitely more laid back. I'm digging Motor City Drum Ensemble lately and Solomun is putting out some good stuff. This is the kind of Deep House I associate with that Maceo Plex kind of sound.

And then there's even more laid back / spacey deep house which I can't provide too much insight into.

The deep house thread on Erol Alkan community s is probably worth a check out (it's a long thread): http://www.erolalkan.co.uk/community /sho....php?tid=45737

While i really like all this bass stuff, i have to agree with karlos.

it is definitely not deep house.

Allsorts mate... i couldnt possibly say one genre.

I DJ regular Top40 and Indie gigs buts thats a job. I dont particularly like all of that music but i do have wide knowledge of it especially indie as thats what i started DJing (post-punk kind of stuff)

If im playing at a bar or when ive done festivals and i have a choice ill play Hiphop/funk/house/dubbydisco kinda stuff.

I like some techno and minimal but im very picky. I like some Dubstep but im even more picky. I like some D&B but, yeah im picky.

I love threads like this as it exposes me to music that i might not otherwise pick up on.

And i definitely feel your desire to mix genres in your mix. I get easily bored of the same genre for an hour. I like changes in mood and depth and energy in a DJs mix.

Sorry to confuse things!
Yeah i get where ya coming from, but Deep House is pretty specific.
I believe you are looking for the 'deeper' more stripped back bass music as you have posted, rather than some of the more arse tearing bass music thats around.

Genres, they serve a purpose but they also make things confusing

Dont sweat it. Keep the thread going.

@tkr - in your first post to me you asked what the tunes on my mix was at 4.30 and I said it was the SBTRKT mix of Little Dragon, I know your mix had the Radiohead one! Haha

Let me know on the mix!

Please dont tell me that the term "Deep House" has been re-appropriated by people (i hesitate to use words like kids, young people) just like 'Break Beat' and 'R&B' were hahaha

There isn't really a label on the type of music coming from this side of EDM. People have tried to pin it down but nothing has stuck. Most of the artists are coming from the dub step scene though.

My favorite labels are:
502, Swamp81 (Vinyl Only), Numbers, Night Slugs, Hessle Audio, Lucky Me, Click Click Boom, Hotflush, Lobster Boy (only a couple of releases), Young Turks, Sounds Pellegrino

Artists I've been enjoying:
Objekt, Kingdom, Mele, Trusta, Fis-T, Two Inch Punch, Dark Star, Mensah, French Fries, A1 Bassline, Rustie, Joy Orbison, Mickey Pearce, Arp 101, Mosca, Jacques Greene, Zed Bias, Scuba, Jamie XX, Pangaea, New York Transit Authority, Teeth, Addison Groove, Boddika, Bok Bok, Bambounou, Manare, L-Vis 1990, Lil Silva, Lunice, Jam City, Redlight, Roska, Canblaster, Girl Unit, & Supra1.

Scubas adrenalin ep and martyn's ghost people cd is what really got me interested in the whole deep house vibe. There's a small scene where im from (tijuana) but its getting bigger by the minute. Maceo Plex was making a trip to baja in march but pushed it back to june, cant wait to see him live!

Labels: dirtybird, anabatic, pets, 2020vision, futureboogie

Artists: BrEaCh, Eats Everything, Coat of Arms, Julio Bashmore, J Phlip, Worthy

Any MJC remixes are golden, Eats everything/Coat of arms reworks are always a sure bet.

This.

...but maybe the other way round. That was half Bass Music and half Deep(ish) house but certainly not genuine Deep House. Also agree on the Acid influence,

To be honest the mix is musically a mish mash of various genres. Not a bad thing but certainly not deep house.

@TKR - at 4.30 is the SBTRKT remix of Never Never by Little Dragon, BIG TUNE for me, rinsed it so much last year!! I'll let you know when we next have some openings, maybe March April if you're up for it, link me a longer mix on a PM or through Soundcloud and I'll check it out with the guys I run the evening with and we'll let you know!

All my playlists are on Soundcloud for anyone interested, new mix on the way now, you've all inspried me!!

@Vermilion - We're at Sophbeck usually on KIng Street if you know if you know it? My mate has also just sorted another evening at Basement in the same vein. We usually have it on the second Friday of the month but if you are on Twitter we're @Skrabble_music and we're on FB too for updates.

@Mostapha - as Vermilion says it's massive in the UK now and what he says on the influences is correct, people go from Dubby stuff right through to Grime and on to Footwork with Drum and Bass licks added, that's why I love it as there is so much scope for creativity that you don't get with general pigeon holing!!

Some DJ's to check are people like:

French Fries (love everything this guy touches)
LV
Damu
Throwing Snow (big new comer for this year)

Check out www.xlr8r.com - all of the people above have done podcasts for them and they're all amazing IMO!!

Love the vibe peeps, let's keep it going!!

Sortof. It encompasses a wide variety of sounds with influences from 2-step, funky, house, techno, hip-hop, dnb, dubstep, garage, grime... The emphasis is always on the low-end frequencies, ideally listened to on a system powerful enough to shake your chest. The terms "post-dubstep" and "future garage" get bandied about a lot.
